Golden books
Looks like school in Italy is becoming a luxury.
I’d like to talk about two topics on this matter:
1) How much would it be to hire someone to write an high school, or better, a junior high level book? Let’s overestimate this: a full year of work for two skilled graduates. How much would it cost to print a book? As Lulu teaches, not so much. And it is self, on demand printing, mass printing would cost even less.
So, why on earth the fucking government isn’t opening a national publishing house? Is it in the name of the free market? Is it allowed to steal in the name of the free market?
2) Hey publishers: ebooks are taking over! No matter how much will you fight it when you can’t win.
You can fool someone forever. You can fool everyone sometimes. But you can’t fool everyone forever.
